Ivermectin for Ovarian Cancer – not working?
-
My wife was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer in Sept 2023. She had six courses of chemo, three before having radical surgery and three following. At the time of diagnosis, her CA125 was over 7000. This dropped fast during chemo then further still after surgery and more chemo. The lowest value was just 12, which of course was encouraging.
She then commenced ‘maintenance treatment’ with Bevacizumab but this was halted when a brain scan revealed multiple tiny bleeds on her brain. That was another low point as she felt she had just been placed in a waiting room until her cancer came back. we were told no other treatment was available but she would be offered more chemo if necessary.
I then embarked on a search for alternative options and helpful supplements. That’s how I came across suggestions that Ivermectin could fight cancer. I had some left over from Covid (still within use-by) and she started a daily dose of 12mg. I bought more (from India) and she’s been taking it for sis months or so.
However, her CA125 is climbing steadily, 102 at the last test, and her oncologist wants to restart chemo, despite scans showing no new activity. We don’t know why yet, but perhaps something else in her latest blood test is concerning, such as liver function?
I read somewhere that Ivermectin can impact liver function. At 12mg/day, should we be concerned? Should she take a break from the Ivermectin? Also, should she halt the Ivermectin during chemo?
Note that we haven’t told her oncologist that she’s taking Ivermectin and don’t feel confident about discussing it with them.
